Hi Eileen,

You said something about not using next record if I do a directory -- won't the same thing happen?
No, with a Directory/Catalogue merge, Word assumes you want all records and simply outputs them one after the other. If you insert a Next Record field, that'll cause Word to skip records.

If you're wanting to do something more than a simple Directory/Catalogue merge, check out my Microsoft Word Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial at:
http://windowssecrets.com/forums/sho...ngs-(2000-2010)
or
http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip
Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document included with it.
